Embezzlement is a white collar crime that often takes place in the employment setting. Essentially, embezzlement occurs when assets are stolen by one who is responsible for them or is otherwise in a position of trust with regards to the assets. For example, accounting embezzlement takes place when a person purposely changes a business's financial information in order to conceal the fact that they are stealing company funds. While a person in this position is granted lawful possession of the assets at issue, they are to use them for business purposes, such as managing or monitoring the assets, rather than misappropriating them for their own personal use.

Many people celebrating Memorial Day this past weekend did so at neighborhood cook-outs and block parties. Although joyous in nature, sometimes events happen at these celebrations that result in criminal charges. Nevertheless, an individual is innocent until proven guilty, which is why putting forth a strong criminal defense is important. After all, nobody wants to see an innocent person found guilty of a crime they didn't commit.

In Maryland, there are varying degrees of murder. After all, sometimes a murder is committed in the heat of passion, or sometimes it is a deliberate act. It is important to understand that not every killing is automatically first-degree murder.

When a person thinks of the crime of burglary, he or she may think of popular television shows or movies that depict a person smashing through a door or shattering a window in order to enter another person's home in the dead of night. It might make for good television ratings or movie reviews, but in fact the crimes of first-degree burglary and home invasion are felonies in Maryland and could have serious consequences.

If you have been charged with a felony, you have everything to lose if you are found guilty, and everything to gain, including your freedom, if you are able to fight the charges and win. But even if you are totally innocent of a crime, if you are being charged, it means that prosecutors have enough evidence and believe they are capable of winning the case in their favor.

A grand jury can be a key part of the criminal justice system, even though it doesn't function like a criminal trial jury and render a verdict. Instead, a grand jury consists of people who are selected by government officials and are asked to decide whether criminal charges should be filed against a potential defendant after viewing evidence that has been collected. A grand jury usually investigates felony crimes and not common misdemeanors. A grand jury can have as many as 16 to 23 members, while a traditional criminal court jury has between six and 12.
